Love days like today. Awesome run out except for the googans running the channel. Pounded some nice gaffer mahi this morning, killed 14, and lost another 10 maybe from short bites, pulled hooks, etc... by 11 we had what the crew wanted so we modified our approach and started searching for a blue one. I had a couple of marks that got me excited but never raised one. Ran home at a nice 27kts, cut fish, and am finishing up the day at Striper's Bar.

Picture Perfect -- Fish are biting and waves are breaking. So far, BLUES, SEA MULLET, SAND PERCH AND SPANISH MACKEREL! Ocean water temp 63 degrees, sunny and clean surf. Winds SW at 14 knots.
